The G Man

1) Same as 370

2) 1L per 3K, average diesal uses more

3) Get more admiring looks in the 8 than the Z, if that's what coolness you're after, rear suicide doors, how cool are they??

4) What?, red, grey, yellow, black, blue, white, green, copper? Not many colours left really.

5) Outperformed the M3 and 350 on Top Gears track!

6) You need to be informed when applying an opinion.

 

But if you don't like it then, hey ho.

 

3) I disagree with that, since I've had the Z it's had gord knows how many admiring looks, RX8's i've been in have never got so much as a glimmer.

4) The paint just doesn't look as nice as on the zed imo.

One things for sure, the paint is just as thin as the 8

It's certainly not everyones cup of char, but the Z isn't a conversation starter, the 8 is, but mostly because of the rear doors.

A R3 is reasonably inexpensive and half the cost to service. The 8 is a bit dated, but then the Merc and the older M3's are too.

What about a Masarati Quatraporte

Now that is a very cool car

1) Same as 370

no offence but no thanks

Why?

Yup Mazda.

A R3? Similar performance to the S2K, but 4 doors, 4 usable seats and a decent boot. The oil metering probs have been solved as well from the Mark 1.

Also just as fast as the 350 on a track

My old Rex came with 040's as standard, not very hard wearing and a ballache when cold or in the wet, when I changed to 050A's it was like driving on smooth double cream, with performance thrown in

The 370 comes with 050A's as standard, and it's all I know at the minute. Suffice to say the 370 is a much noisier drive than the 8 on the same tyres, albeit 19" as opposed to 18".

It may just be a "feature" of the Z.

Awe, Roger and Jessica look like our Gizmo, who also sadly passed away 2 weeks ago

Are they a Russian type rabbit? I think our Gizmo was

He is a P**ck,he had a great chance of being F1 champ (prob only chance) but he plays about on a bike twice!!

 

so he's not allowed a life out side the races

Tend to agree that he was a knob! This was, realistically, his last chance to win a F1 championship, supported him all season then, if this is right, he lets everyone down

This is Ellie She can kick every pet on here;s butt, she's small but fearless, well up to a point, she doesn't like parachuting

The later versions with Premium Connect have a hard drive, single CD, USB etc, the early ones had 6 CD changers.

My Mrs work are putting them up in Hotels tonight So she tells me Seriously, I'm old, but today was the worst driving conditions I've ever seen, I couldn't even get in and that was using my daughters Cooper S

Mrs in her FR, no probs this morning, just the traffic snarl ups this evening that beat it

Last Wednesday, while there was more snow than you could shake a stick at, I was making my way to work, onto the M74, well actually drifted onto it, dicksplash in a white van was tooting at me, he had been up my hoop for around a mile before motorway, as I apparantly wasn't skidding into the arctics fast enough

Wot a throbber

Some maniacs out there, the offer of reciprical violence sometimes does the trick but can backfire unless you can back it up

Loving some of the stuff in that catalogue!

+1 on that, this is gonna be expensive

Welcome to glorified touring cars

 

Will wait and see how long it takes Audi to win this one, they will surely enter this now as they have a wealth of knowledge of small turbo engines

Hmmmm!, small? They do some rather tasty V10's and 12's, not my taste mind but their diesels go as fast as a F1 for a lot longer, too quiet though. Don't forget Peugot, brilliant to see the crowd react when they win.

They have got a good record in the Le Mans series, real racing, real overtaking and proper driving with no politics and as long as you do as the French tell you, you can do whatever else you want.

What I would like to see is a club event to Le Mans, 30/40 Zeds haring through France In the P1 class, Aston Martin are doing some great things. Even the P2 and P3 races are great to watch, three races all going on at the one time . These drivers do the equivelant of 4 F1 races EACH in a relatively short time.

Unless you are "connected" you won't get near the pit lane in F1 but at Le Mans it's open to ALL on the day before the race and you can access the garage, mechanics and drivers.

Great social occassion and one for REAL petrol heads.

Yes we get hyped up and carried away and constantly refer back to our finest day in 66, but at least we have belief and hope.

Was that 1066 Death to The Normans

Hope England qualify for every world cup actually, gives me someone to support

G Man, I'm a Scot that was living in Russia as an expatriate. I was repatriated to Scotland against my will though!

Really!!, who did we swap you for

Bet it's an interesting story

Ach, the English are ok, it's the media that let you down, and I don't mean Panorama, I mean Jon Motson

Are you Russian? Or have I read that wrong

Donated, good luck and I'm sure your dad is proud of you

Mucho ranto, calm down boys/girls , the english bid (yes english not british, (few posts back making reference to me being Scottish and hims being British ) obviously didn't have thick enough envelopes

Now it's not a real game is it?

Mone the Qataries (sp?) That'll be hilarious

Still, we have the Royal wedding and the olympics to look forward to, eh?

Zeebruge - Cologne - Montreaux - St Bernandino Pass - Lake Como - Stelvio, I may have made the spelling up on some of the names but it's what a GT car is made for

Lake Como is stunning, we stayed in Mennagio, get the ferry from there to Verrena, have some wine, eat some lovely food, take in the stunning vista, go back to hotel and bonk the mrs

Sorry, I mean make "love"

George Clooney is a knob though, kept asking to join our table at dinner, fook of George!!

Terry Butcher

A "Dons" fan interviewed on telly actually wanted Walter Smith

Where it all went wrong was to send a future King, a Conservative priminister (royalist to the core) and a minor playboy!

Fifa is run by a Republican, Russia also had a revolution and have a dictator and they sent a proper playboy, Abramovich.

I laughed my knob off, especially at the "assembled" crowd of "fans" in London

Oh by the way, Scotland were world champions after beating, sorry, humiliating, Ramsays boys in '67, que mucho ranto from Engurland

Poofs game
